Do all rabbits live in warrens?
A. Studies have shown that in some areas, many rabbits are surface dwelling or live in small surface stops. This behaviour is very common in South-west Western Australia and in New Zealand. However, they usually live in warren complexes in most other parts of Australia. Warrens give rabbits protection from heat, cold and predators. Where there is little surface cover, warrens assist rabbits to survive and increase. In these areas, the key to rabbit control is warren destruction.
